Well I wanna start out by clearing hte air and admitting to being a *******.

I was cleaning my car with the radio on and the door sensor was beeping. So I put a pen inbetween the sensor and the actual door to 'fool' it so it wouldn't beep. I forgot about it an hour later and attempted to shut the door =(
I didn't shut it all the way because I heard a weird sound (the pen pushing in on the sensor). After I took out the pen I noticed the sensor was pushed back a bit and would not spring all the out anymore. It was at the point to where it wouldn't be pushed when the door shut so I would get the adjar message. Then my stupidass tried pulling on it and out it came lol... The sensors about an inch long and a nice spring came with it...

Short: I pulled out my door sensor and now it won't go back in. I can't imagine this would pass NYS inspection. Can I fix this or do I need to go get it fixed?

EDIT: The sensor will physically fit back into the hole but it won't stay in a fixed position.

 

JB weld that **** back in as long as it's working correctly. You'll never have to worry about it again.

 

It shouldnt be that hard to fix.If you pulled the pin out of the body you will need a new one.
I think they are inserted from the inside ,probably through the side some how.
I will look for a drawing of it at work tommorow if I have time and pm it to you.

 

Wow is there anything they don't look at there? You should move to Illinois where its perfectly legal to drive a deathtrap and no one cares.

 

I can't see how that would cause you to fail your state inspection because not every car comes equipped with that sensor. However, that sensor is usually available for under $100 and can be installed very easily. We replace those all the time at my shop when they git hit on the doors. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

it has nothing to do with inspection
